What to do:

dine and relax and reconnect

Is there ever a time when those three options above aren’t welcomed?? Eat. Relax. Reconnect. Those sound heavenly to me. Life is busy enough. Your vacations shouldn’t be more of the same.

Here’s what you should know about staying at McCloud Restaurant and Lodge:

• the roads are extra windy

• roads can be treacherous in inclement weather (see above)

• call ahead before traveling to verify that roads to the lodge are open (see above) :)

• cell service is minimal

This restaurant in LaFollette , TN has an elevation of about 2700 feet above the sea level. From here you will able to view the Clinch Mountain which is the part of Appalachian, the Great Smoky Mountain, several peeks of Norris Lake and other cities. ___________________________ The food is ok, a bit expensive for what it is, but you really don't go for the food. The view takes your breath away. And you can sit on the rocking chair outside deck. Or look out all the big windows inside the restaurant. It's really hard to even concentrate. . ☝️ NEW blog post link on the bio. #lafollettetn #mccloudrestaurant #onlyintennessee
